Pend Oreille County, in the Okanogan Highland Valley, is located
in the northeast corner of the state. The county was named
by a French trapper who discovered an Indian tribe in the
area wearing dangling earring pendants, and therefore named
it after these devices. Pend Oreille was established as a
county on November 11, 1911.
